Indie rock group Los Campesinos! have just announced a string of UK headline tour dates for March, starting out in Exeter and trailing on through to their last date in Sheffield. All dates for the tour are as follows:

Los Campesinos! have been around for a while now, seemingly outliving their own genre’s popularity, a twee and melancholic indie rock, that appears to have gone a little out of style lately. It is on their latest release ‘Hello Sadness’ then that the band really needs to evolve their sound to keep up with the times. Well, first things first; if you have never been a fan of this band, this album will do little to change your mind. Gareth Paisley‘s vocals are still aping The Cure‘s Robert Smith, and his song writing is still as introspective and melodramatic as ever, which will be an instant turn off for some. But, at least ‘Hello Sadness’ has some variety.

Los Campesinos! have announced details on their forthcoming full-length record, ‘Hello Sadness’. The album is slated for a November 14th release on Wichita Records, with the artwork and final tracklisting found below:

01.) By Your Hand
02.) Songs About Your Girlfriend
03.) Hello Sadness
04.) Life Is A Long Time
05.) Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions)
06.) Hate For The Island
07.) The Black Bird, The Dark Slope
08.) To Tundra
09.) Baby I Got The Death Rattle
10.) Light Leaves, Dark Sees Pt. II
